Incorporate innovation into your investment portfolios
Traditional investing in equities focuses on established companies that are leaders in their respective industries. Investing in these companies has traditionally been the optimal way to have access to the overall growth in the economy with the support of well-known brands and proven management and products.
But in an environment of exponential change and disruption, such as the one we are currently experiencing, there is a growing need to complement this large cap strategy with portfolios focused on new innovative companies that are proving more successful in this dynamic marketplace.
Megatrends are colliding, from exponential technologies to climate change to social unrest. The dynamics of markets and society are changing rapidly. It’s time to look disruption in the eye and search for opportunities with a growth mindset and a global perspective.
